BACKGROUND 1. Field

An embodiment of the invention relates to a lighting module having a plurality of light emitting devices.

An embodiment of the invention relates to a lighting module providing a surface light source having a line shape.

Embodiments relate to a lighting apparatus having a lighting module.

The embodiment relates to a light unit having a lighting module, a liquid crystal display, and a vehicle lamp.

2. Background

Conventional lighting applications include not only a vehicle lighting but also a backlight for a display and a signage.

A light emitting device, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) has advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent lifetime, fast response speed, safety, environmental friendliness compared to conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. Such an LED has been applied to various lighting devices such as various display devices, indoor lights or outdoor lights, or the like.

Recently, a lamp employing an LED has been proposed as a vehicle light source. Compared to incandescent lamps, an LED has an advantage in low power consumption. However, since an emitting angle of light emitted from an LED is small, when the LED is used as a vehicle lamp, it is required to increase a light-emitting area of a lamp using the LED.

Since a size of an LED is small, it is possible to increase a degree of freedom of design of a lamp, and the LED has economic efficiency due to the semi-permanent lifetime.

As described below, the number of the light emitting devices may be n (n is 2 or more), and for convenience of description, three light emitting devices will be described as an example.

The convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may include a first convex portion P1 corresponding to the first light emitting device 101, a second convex portion P2 corresponding to the second light emitting device 102, and a third convex portion P3 corresponding to the third light emitting device 103.

To this end, the first to third convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may overlap each exit surface 111 of the first to third light emitting devices 101, 102, and 103 in the second direction Y.

The first to third convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may overlap in the first direction, and the first and second concave portions C1 and C2 may overlap in the first direction.

The first and second recesses C1 and C2 may transmit or reflect some incident light. The first and second concave portions C1 and C2 may suppress the occurrence of dark portions in the region between the first to third light emitting devices 101, 102 and 103.

The substrate 210 includes a printed circuit board (PCB), for example, a resin-based printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, and a ceramic PCB, or FR-4 substrate. The substrate 210 may be a flexible or non-flexible material. A circuit pattern may be disposed on the substrate 210. The circuit pattern of the substrate 210 may include a plurality of pads on a region corresponding to the light emitting device 105.

Among the regions of the substrate 210, a rear region based on the light emitting device 105 is a region opposite to a region where light is emitted, and may be a region in which a circuit patterns for connecting the light emitting devices 105 may be disposed. The width of the rear region may vary depending on the number of the light emitting devices 105 or the connection method of the light emitting devices 105. The width of the rear region is the distance D3 between the light emitting device 105 and the rear side surface S2, and may be provided in 2 mm or more. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the penetration of moisture from the rear side of the light emitting device 105 and the circuit patterns for connecting the plurality of light emitting devices 105 may form.

The plurality of light emitting devices 105 may be provided with bonding portions thereunder and electrically connected to pads of the substrate 210. The plurality of light emitting devices 105 may be connected in series by the circuit patterns of the substrate 210. As another example, the plurality of light emitting devices 105 may be connected in parallel by circuit patterns of the substrate 210, or two or more groups connected in series may be connected in parallel.

The light emitting device 105 may include a device having a light emitting chip or a package in which an LED chip is packaged. The light emitting chip may emit at least one of blue, red, green, and ultraviolet (UV) light. The light emitting device 105 may emit at least one of white, blue, red, and green. The light emitting device 105 emits light in a lateral direction and a bottom portion thereof may be disposed on the substrate 210. The light emitting device 105 may be a side view type package. As another example, the light emitting device 105 may be an LED chip, and one surface of the LED chip may be opened and a reflective member may be disposed on the other surface.

The exit surface 111 of the light emitting device 105 may be disposed on a surface adjacent to the substrate 210, for example, and may be disposed on a side surface adjacent to the upper surface of the substrate 210. The exit surface 111 is disposed to the side surface between the bottom and the upper surface of the light emitting device 105, and emits light in the second direction Y. The exit surface 111 of the light emitting device 105 may be a surface adjacent to the first reflective layer 230 and may be a perpendicular surface to the upper surface of the substrate 210 and the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230.

The thickness of the light emitting device 105 may be smaller than the length of the first direction X of the light emitting device 105. The thickness of the light emitting device 105 may be 3 mm or less, for example, 2 mm or less. The thickness of the light emitting device 105 may be in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm, for example, in the range of 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm.

The length of the light emitting device 105 in the first direction X may be greater than the thickness of the light emitting device 105, for example, may be 1.5 times or more the thickness of the light emitting device 105. Since the light emitting device 105 has a thin thickness and a long length in the first direction, the light exit angle in the first direction X in the left-right direction based on the center of the light emitting device 105 may be widely provided. Here, the light exit angle of the light emitting device 105 in the first direction X may be greater than the light exit angle of the third direction Z in the up-down direction. The light exit angle of the first direction of the light emitting device 105 may have a range of 110 degrees to 160 degrees. The length of the first direction X of the light emitting device 105 may be greater than the width of the second direction of the light emitting device 105.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2 , the thickness Za of the substrate 210 may be smaller than the thickness of the light emitting device 105. The thickness of the light emitting device 105 may be two or more times the thickness Za of the substrate 210, for example, may range from 2 to 4 times. Since the thickness Za of the substrate 210 is provided thin, the lighting module 200 may be provided as a flexible plate.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , the resin layer 220 may be disposed on the substrate 210. The first reflective layer 230 may be disposed between the resin layer 220 and the substrate 210. The resin layer 220 may cover the light emitting device 105. The resin layer 220 may contact the upper surface and side surfaces of the light emitting device 105. The resin layer 220 may contact the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230. A portion of the resin layer 220 may contact the substrate 210 through the first reflective layer 230. The resin layer 220 may contact the exit surface 111 of the light emitting device 105. The front side surface S1, the rear side surface S2, the first side surface S3 and the second side surface S4 of the resin layer 220 are side surfaces between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The front side surface S1, the rear side surface S2, the first side surface S3 and the second side surface S4 may be a periphery surfaces of the light emitting device 105 or surfaces corresponding to the side surfaces of the light emitting device 105.

An area of the upper surface of the resin layer 220 may be the same as an area of the upper surface of the substrate 210. The area of the upper surface of the resin layer 220 may be the same as an area of the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230. The area of the upper surface of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the second reflective layer 240. The length X1 of the resin layer 220 in the first direction may be the same as the length of the substrate 210. The length X1 of the resin layer 220 in the first direction may be the same as the length of the first reflective layer 230. The length X1 of the resin layer 220 in the first direction may be the same as the length of the second reflective layer 240. The maximum width Y1 of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the maximum width of the substrate 210. The maximum width Y1 of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the maximum width of the second reflective layer 240. The minimum width of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the minimum width of the substrate 210. The minimum width of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the minimum width of the first reflective layer 230. The minimum width of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the minimum width of the second reflective layer 240. The maximum width in the second direction is the length between the peak of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 of the lighting module and the rear side surface S2, and the minimum width may be a length between the lower point of the concave portions C1 and C2 of the lighting module and the rear side surface S2.

The resin layer 220 may be disposed between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may have the same area and face each other on the lower surface and the upper surface of the resin layer 220. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may diffuse light emitted from the light emitting device 105 and light reflected by the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 to guide the lateral direction.

The resin layer 220 may be formed to a thickness Zb greater than the thickness of the light emitting device 105. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may protect the upper portion of the light emitting device 105 and prevent moisture penetration. Since the substrate 210 is disposed under the light emitting device 105 and the resin layer 220 is disposed on the light emitting device 105, the light emitting device 105 may be protected. Therefore, an interval between the upper surface of the resin layer 220 and the light emitting device 105 may be arranged in a range of 0.6 mm or less, for example, 0.5 mm to 0.6 mm. The upper portion of the resin layer 220 is disposed at the same thickness as the interval, thereby protecting the upper portion of the light emitting device 105.

The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be an interval between the upper surface and the lower surface of the resin layer 220. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be a distance between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The thickness Zb may be equal to a distance (e.g., Zb) between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The thickness Zb may be smaller than the distance between the front side surface S1 and the rear side surface S2. For example, the distance between the front side surface S1 and the rear side surface S2 may include the maximum width or the minimum width. The maximum width may be a straight line distance between the high point of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the rear side surface S2. The distance or interval between the first and second side surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer 220 may be greater than the distance between the high point of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the rear side surface S2. The minimum width may be a straight line distance between the bottom of the concave portions C1 and C2 and the rear side surface S2. The distance or interval between the first reflective layer 230 and the second reflective layer 240 may be smaller than the distance or interval between the front side surface S1 and the rear side surface S2 of the resin layer 220. By arranging the distance between the first and second reflecting layers 230 and 240 smaller than the width Y1 or the minimum width in the second direction of the lighting module 200, a line-form surface light source is provided, and a brightness and hot spots may prevent. In addition, the lighting module may be provided with flexible characteristics that may be convex or concave in the third direction.

The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be 2 times or less than the thickness of the light emitting device 105, and may be, for example, more than 1 to 2 times. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be, for example, in the range of 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm or in the range of 1.6 mm to 1.8 mm. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be 0.8 times or less the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200, for example, and may be in a range of 0.4 to 0.8 times the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. Since the thickness of the resin layer 220 is disposed at a difference of 1.2 mm or less from the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200, a decrease in light efficiency in the lighting module 200 may prevent and the ductility characteristics may enhance.

The resin layer 220 may include a resin material such as silicone, silicone molding compound (SMC), epoxy, or epoxy molding compound (EMC). The resin layer 220 may optionally include an ultraviolet (UV) curable resin or a heat curable resin material, and PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, and the like. For example, a resin material having a urethane acrylate oligomer as a main raw material may be used as the main material of the resin layer 220. For example, a urethane acrylate oligomer which is a synthetic oligomer may be used by mixing with a polyacrylic polymer type. Of course, the low-boiling dilution type reactive monomers such as IBOA (isobornyl acrylate), HPA (Hydroxyl propyl acrylate, 2-HEA (2-hydroxyethyl acrylate), etc.) may further include a mixed monomer, and may be mixed a photo initiator (for example, 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenyl-ketone, etc.) or antioxidants as an additive.

A bead (not shown) may be included in the resin layer 220, and the bead may diffuse and reflect incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light. The resin layer 220 may include a phosphor. The phosphor may include at least one of a yellow phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor, and a red phosphor.

The region where the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 are formed in the resin layer 220 may be provided as a lens portion. The lens portion of the resin layer 220 is provided in a lens shape having a convex curved surface, and may include a hemispherical shape when viewed from a top view. The distance from the light emitting device 105 to the lens portion may be further spaced apart from the region of lens portion that corresponds to the center of the light emitting device 105. The thickness of the lens portion in the third direction may be the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220. Since the upper and lower surfaces of the lens portion are flat and curved surfaces are formed toward the front side surface S1, light incident in a direction of the front side surface S1 may be diffused. The lens portion is disposed between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 which are flat on the upper and lower portions of the lens portions, so that light may be emitted by refracting light to the front side surface S1. The lens portion may refract light incident on a region outside the optical axis based on an optical axis at an exit angle greater than an incident angle.

In the resin layer 220, the concave portions C1 and C2 disposed between the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 are provided as recesses recessed in a direction of the rear side surface S2, and the concave portions C1 and C2 may include a concave curved surface or a curved surface having an inflection point. The recesses of the resin layer 220 may be formed as a concave curved surface on the surface of the resin layer 220 to refract the incident light. The recesses of the concave portions C1 and C2 refract light emitted from the light emitting device 105 on the region between the lens portions, thereby suppressing the occurrence of dark portions.

Here, when the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 and the concave portions C1 and C2 are disposed on the resin layer 220, the substrate 210 and the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 has a shape corresponding to shapes of the convex portion and the concave portion. The convex portions P1, P2, and P3 or the lens portion of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the number of the light emitting devices 105.

The first reflective layer 230 may reflect light emitted from the light emitting device 105. The first reflective layer 230 may be formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210. The first reflective layer 230 may be formed as an upper layer of the substrate 210 or may be formed as a separate layer. The first reflective layer 230 may be adhered to the upper surface of the substrate 210 with an adhesive. The resin layer 220 may be adhered to the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230.

The first reflective layer 230 is provided with a plurality of holes 232 in a region corresponding to the lower surface of the light emitting device 105, and the light emitting device 105 may be connected to the substrate 210 through the hole 232. A portion of the resin layer 220 may contact the substrate 210 through the hole 232. The hole 232 may be a region where the light emitting device 105 is bonded to the substrate 210.

The first reflective layer 230 may be formed in a single layer or multilayer structure. The first reflective layer 230 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or non-metal material. When the first reflective layer 230 is a metal, the first reflective layer 230 may include a metal layer such as stainless, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag). When the first reflective layer 230 is a non-metallic material, the first reflective layer 230 may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The first reflective layer 230 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflective layer 230 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, or a regular reflection film. The first reflective layer 230 may be provided as, for example, a regular reflection film for reflecting incident light to the front side surface S1

The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 is disposed at least 0.5 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210, thereby reducing transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase.

The second reflective layer 240 may be disposed on the resin layer 220. The second reflective layer 240 may be adhered to the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The second reflective layer 240 is disposed in the entire region of the upper surface of the resin layer 220, thereby reducing light loss.

The second reflective layer 240 may be formed of the same material as the first reflective layer 230. The second reflective layer 240 may have a material having a higher light reflectivity than the material of the first reflective layer 230 or a thicker thickness in order to reflect light and reduce light transmission loss. The second reflective layer 240 may be the same thickness as the first reflective layer 230 or a thicker thickness. For example, the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may be provided with the same material and the same thickness.

The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 is disposed at least 0.5 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210, thereby reducing transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase.

The second reflective layer 240 may be formed in a single layer or multilayer structure. The second reflective layer 240 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or non-metal material. When the second reflective layer 240 is a metal, the second reflective layer 240 may include a metal layer such as stainless, aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), and when the second reflective layer 240 is a non-metallic material, the second reflective layer 240 may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The second reflective layer 240 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflective layer 240 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, or a regular reflection film. The second reflective layer 240 may be provided as, for example, a regular reflection film so that incident light proceeds in a direction of the front side surface S1.

A stacked structure of the substrate 210, the first reflective layer 230, the resin layer 220, and the second reflective layer 240 may include the convex portions P1, P2, P3 and the concave portions C1 and C2. An upper surface and a lower surface of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 have a flat shape, and may include a curved surface or a hemispherical shape in the first direction. The concave portions C1 and C2 may include the concave curved surface in a direction of the rear side surface S2.

The convex curved surface and the concave curved surface in the resin layer 220 may be formed as a haze surface to diffuse light. The haze surface may be treated as a rough surface than the inner surface of the resin layer 220 to diffuse the emitted light.

The lighting module 200 according to an embodiment of the invention may provide a thickness Z1 in the third direction in a line form, thereby providing ductility and providing a line-shaped surface light source. The lighting module 200 may have a thickness Z1 of 3 mm or less. That is, the lighting module 200 may be provided as a surface light source having a line shape of 3 mm or less. As another example, the lighting module 200 may be arranged to be 6 mm or less larger than 3 mm, in this case, the thickness of the lighting module 200 is increased, but the thickness of the resin layer 220 is provided thicker to increase the line width and the light distribution area may increase.

Referring to FIG. 2 , when the thickness of each component in the lighting module 200, the thickness of the substrate 210 is Za, the thickness of the resin layer 220 is Zb, the thickness of the first reflective layer 230 is Zc and the thickness of the second reflective layer 240 is Zd, and there have the relationship of Zb>Za>Zd≥Zc. The interval between the upper surfaces of the second reflective layer 240 and the lower surface of the substrate 210 is the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. The thickness Zb is a ratio of 0.4 to 0.8 of Z1, the thickness Za is a ratio of 0.14 to 0.18 of Z1, and the thickness Zd or Zc may have a ratio of 0.08 to 0.12 of Z1. The Zb may have a ratio of 3.5 to 4 of Za. The Zb may have a ratio of 5.8 to 6.4 of Zc or Zd. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 is disposed to be thicker than the thickness Za of the substrate 210, so that the light emitting device 105 may be protected and guided by diffusing light and strengthening ductility characteristics.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 in the first direction is a distance between the adjacent concave portions C1 and C2, and may be equal to or smaller than the pitch G1 of the light emitting devices 105. When the maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is greater than the pitch G1 between the light emitting devices 105, two or more light emitting devices on a region of the convex portions P1, P2, P3 105 may be arranged and may increase the luminosity. When the maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is smaller than the pitch G1 between the light emitting devices 105, the size of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 becomes small, and the light may provide in a uniform distribution, but the luminous intensity may be reduced.

The maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be 15 mm or more, for example, in a range of 15 mm to 20 mm. The maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be larger than the depth D4 of the concave portions C1 and C2. The ratio of the maximum width W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the depth D4 of the concave portions C1, C2 may range from 1:0.4 to 1:0.7. When the depths of the concave portions C1 and C2 are smaller than the above range, the dark region may be increased between adjacent convex portions P1, P2 and P3. When the depths of the concave portions C1 and C2 are greater than the above ranges, the light interference between the light emitting devices 105 may increase by proceeding to a region adjacent to the light emitting devices 105. The depth D4 of the concave portions C1 and C2 may be a straight-line distance from a straight line connecting the peaks of the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 to the lower points of the concave portions C1 and C2.

The curved surfaces of the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 and the curved surfaces of the concave portions C1 and C2 may have curvature. The radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be 8 mm or more, for example, 8 mm to 14 mm or 9 mm to 11 mm. When the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is smaller than the above range, the improvement of luminous intensity is minimal, and when it is larger than the above range, a dark portion may be generated.

The radius of curvature of the concave portions C1 and C2 may be ⅛ times smaller than the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. The ratio of the radius of curvature of the concave portions C1 and C2 and the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 may range from 1:8 to 1:28. When the radius of curvature of the concave portions C1 and C2 is smaller than the above range, the amount of light emitted through the concave portions C1 and C2 may be reduced to increase the dark portion, and when it is larger than the range, the convex portions P1 and P2, P3 may be reduced in size, and optical interference between the light emitting devices 105 may occur. Accordingly, the depths D4 and the radius of curvature of the concave portions C1 and C2 take into account the position of the light emitting device 105 and an angle of beam spread of the light emitting device 105, and may range the improvement of light uniformity by the recesses C1 and C2 and the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the suppression of dark portion by the recesses C1 and C2. The radius of curvature of the concave portions C1 and C2 may range from 0.5 to 1 mm. Since the concave portions C1 and C2 have a predetermined curvature and are provided in a curved shape, the incident light may be refracted and transmitted, thereby reducing the occurrence of dark portions in the concave portions C1 and C2.

The region between the peak of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the light emitting device 105 is a region for diffusing light and emitting it with a uniform light distribution, which may be defined as a light diffusion region or a light guide region. The interval between the peak of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the light emitting device 105 may range of 13 mm or more, for example, may range from 13 mm to 20 mm. The interval between the peak of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the light emitting device 105 may be provided in a uniform distribution through light diffusion when in the range, and when the interval between the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 and the light emitting device 105 is smaller than the above range, a hot spot may be generated, and when it is larger than the above range, the luminous intensity may decrease and the size of the module may increase. The interval between the convex portions P1, P2, P3 and the light emitting device 105 may be larger than the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3, for example, and may be in a range of 1.3 times or more or 1.3 to 2.0 times of the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3.

The interval D1 between the concave portions C1 and C2 and the straight lines connecting the light emitting devices 105 may be smaller than the depth D4 of the concave portions C1 and C2. The interval D1 may be 5 mm or more, for example, in a range of 5 mm to 12 mm, and when it is smaller than the interval D1, the depth D4 of the concave portions C1 and C2 is deepened or a distance D2 between the light emitting device 105 and the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be narrowed, and a dark portion may be generated in the concave portions C1, C2 or a hot spot may be generated in the convex portions P1, P2, and P3.

Referring to FIG. 5 , among the light emitted from the light emitting device 105, the light L1 traveling in the optical axis direction passes through the center of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3, and the light L2 emitted around the optical axis is emitted at an exit angle greater than the incident angle, thereby diffusing light. In addition, the light L3 incident on the concave portions C1 and C2 is refracted and transmitted or reflected and emitted by the convex portions P1, P2 and P3, thereby reducing the occurrence of dark portions on the concave portions C1 and C2. That is, as shown in FIG. 37 , in the lighting module according to the embodiment of the invention, the dark region Rb is smaller than the bright region Ra in the emitted luminous intensity distribution as shown in (a), and may have a distribution of the equiluminance curve of light as shown in (b). FIG. 38 is a structure having a flat front side surface without a convex portion and a concave portion in a lighting module according to an embodiment of the invention, and may be provided as a module as shown in FIG. 15 , in a luminous intensity distribution, a dark region Rb becomes greater than a bright region Ra, and has an equiluminance curve distribution as in (b).

Referring to FIG. 6 , an angle RO between the center of the light emitting device 105 and the low point of the concave portion C0 based on a straight line passing through the center of the light emitting device 105 and the center of the convex portion P0 may range from 50 degrees or more, for example, in a range from 50 degrees to 80 degrees. The concave portion C0 is spaced apart from the angle RO to receive light from the light emitting device 105 and refract it to emit the light. The convex portion P0 and the concave portion C0 may include convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the concave portions C1, C2 disclosed in FIGS. 1 to 5 .

FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a lighting module according to an embodiment of the invention, and FIGS. 8 to 13 are views illustrating a manufacturing process of the lighting module according to an embodiment of the invention. In describing the lighting module, the same parts as the above configuration will be referred to the above description.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , two or more light emitting devices 105 may be arranged on the substrate 210 in the first direction. The light emitting devices 105 to be disposed on the substrate 210 may be arranged to emit light toward the front side surface or in a front direction. As another example, the light emitting devices 105 on the substrate 210 are arranged in one column, but may be arranged in two columns, but are not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 9 , a first reflective layer 230 prepared in advance is attached to the substrate 210. A hole 232 into which the light emitting device 105 is to be inserted may be formed in the first reflective layer 230. The first reflective layer 230 is disposed around the light emitting device 105 and is attached to the substrate 210 to reflect light emitted from the light emitting device 105. The first reflective layer 230 may not be formed when a resist material of a reflective material is disposed on the substrate 210, but is not limited thereto. The first reflective layer 230 has thinner thickness than the thickness of the light emitting device 105 and may be disposed below the exit surface of the light emitting device 105. The first reflective layer 230 may be a plastic material, or a metal or non-metal material.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 10 , a resin layer 220 is formed on the first reflective layer 230. The resin layer 220 may be molded on the first reflective layer 230 and the light emitting device 105. The resin layer 220 may be formed to a thickness capable of covering the light emitting device 105. The resin layer 220 may be formed of a transparent resin material, for example, a material such as silicone, silicone molding compound, epoxy or epoxy molding compound, UV curable resin or heat curable resin.

The resin layer 220 may be provided with a thickness that is thicker than the thickness of the light emitting device 105, and may be arranged to be twice or less, for example, 1.5 times or less, the thickness of the light emitting device 105. The resin layer 220 may be formed by a dispensing process.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 11 , a second reflective layer 240 is formed on the upper surface of the resin layer 220 before the resin layer 220 is cured. The second reflective layer 240 may cover the entire upper surface of the resin layer 220. The second reflective layer 240 may be attached using an adhesive after the resin layer 220 is cured as another example.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 12 , when the second reflective layer 240 is formed, structures from the substrate 210 to the second reflective layer 240 are cut using cutting equipment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 12 and 13 . Here, the cutting equipment may be cut with a router, and a convex portions P0 and a concave portions P0 of the lighting module may be formed during the cutting.

Accordingly, in the lighting module, the front side surface S1 of the resin layer 220 and the front side surface S1 of the substrate 210 may be disposed on the same vertical plane. In addition, the resin layer 220 may be disposed on the same vertical plane as the front side surface S1, the first reflective layer 230, and the second reflective layer 240. Each of the rear side surface S2, the first side surface S3, and the second side surface S4 of the resin layer 220 may be disposed on the same vertical plane as the rear side surface, the first side surface, and the second side of the substrate 210, respectively. Each of the rear side surface S2, the first side surface S3, and the second side surface S4 of the resin layer 220 may be disposed on a perpendicular plane such as the rear side, the first side surface and the second side surface of the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240.

Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 7, 12, and 13 , the light emitted from the light emitting device 105 may be emitted through the front side surface S1 of the resin layer 220. Some light reflected from the inside may be emitted to the rear side surface S2, the first side surface S3, and the second side surface S4 of the resin layer 220.

FIG. 14 is another example of the lighting module of the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 14 , the first reflective layer 230 may be spaced apart from the edge of the substrate 210 and a portion 222 of the resin layer 220 may contact an upper surface of the edge side of the substrate 210. When the resin layer 220 is in contact with the edge of the substrate 210, moisture penetration may be suppressed.

As another example, in the lighting module as shown in FIGS. 2 and 14 , a third reflective layer 245 may be further disposed on the surfaces S2, S3, and S4 excluding the front side surface S1 among the side surfaces of the resin layer 220. The third reflective layer 245 may prevent leakage of light and increase the amount of light extracted to the front side surface S1. The third reflective layer 245 may be a material of the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 disclosed above. The third reflective layer 245 may contact or be spaced apart from the side surface of the resin layer 220.

In the following description, it has a stacked structure of the lighting modules as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 , and is a configuration in which the above-described configurations are partially changed in consideration of a variable of luminous intensity degradation in the lighting modules. In the following description, the changed parts of each configuration will be mainly described, and the above configuration may be selectively applied.

FIG. 15 is a structure in which the lighting module disclosed above provides a flat front side surface S1 without convex portions and concave portions. The lighting module may be stacked in the structure of FIG. 7 . The luminous intensity in the horizontal and vertical directions of the lighting module as shown in FIG. 15 may be lowered, and the dark portion may be larger than the bright portion as shown in FIG. 38 without convex portions and concave portions. In this case, a diffusion agent may be added in the resin layer to prevent hot spots or provide a longer light guiding distance.

FIGS. 16 to 19 are examples of changing the curvature of the convex portion in the lighting module according to the embodiment of the invention. The lighting module 201 a of FIG. 16 has a radius of curvature of 5±0.5 mm of the convex portion Pa1 corresponding to the light emitting device 105, and in this case, the luminance intensity in the horizontal and vertical directions may be 7.5 cd or less. In this case, the region Pb2 between the convex portion Pa1 and the convex portion Pa1 is provided in a large region with a flat surface, and thus there is a limit in improving the luminance intensity.

FIGS. 17 to 19 are structures in which the radius of curvature of the convex portions Pb1, Pc1, and Pd1 corresponding to the light emitting device 105 in the lighting module 201 b of the invention is gradually increased. FIG. 17 has a radius of curvature of the convex portion Pb1 in the range of 8 mm to 11 mm, FIG. 18 has a radius of curvature of the convex portion Pc1 in the range of 11 mm to 14 mm, and FIG. 19 has a radius of curvature of the convex portion Pd1 in the range of 15 mm to It is in the range of 21 mm. At this time, it may be seen that in the structures as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 , the luminance intensity in the horizontal and vertical directions is 8.5 cd or more, and in FIG. 19 , the luminance intensity in the horizontal and vertical directions is reduced to 7.5 cd or more and 8.2 cd again. Therefore, when the lighting module of the invention provides a luminance intensity of 7.5 cd or more, the radius of curvature described above may be selectively applied. When the light module has the best luminance intensity, the radius of curvature of the convex portions Pb1, Pc1, and Pd1 may be provided in a range of 8 mm to 14 mm, and the concave portions Pb2, Pc2, and Pd2 in the region between the convex portions Pb1, Pc1, and Pd1 due to the radius of curvature of the convex portions Pb1, Pc1, and Pd1 may be provided without a curve or have a radius of curvature of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. The convex portions Pb1, Pc1, Pd1 and concave portions Pb2, Pc2, and Pd2 of the lighting module are alternately arranged, since the convex portion P overlaps the light emitting device 105 in the second direction and may be extracted by diffusing the light incident and the concave portions Pb2, Pc2, and Pd2 may be extracted by refracting the light incident, the luminous intensity of the line-shaped surface light source may improve and hot spots may prevent. Here, the luminous intensity was measured under the condition that the distance between the light emitting device 105 and the front side surface S1 is 13 mm, and the air gap between the lighting module and the inner lens is 11 mm.

FIGS. 20 to 34 are examples of modifying the shape of the front side surface S1 in the lighting module of the invention. In this modification, when the convex portion and the concave portion disclosed above have a curvature, the luminous intensity may be lower than the luminous intensity in the horizontal and vertical directions.

As shown in FIG. 20 , a convex portion Pa3 and a concave portion Pa4 are alternately disposed on the front side surface S1 of the lighting module 202 a, and the convex portion Pa3 is disposed to overlap the light emitting device 105, and the concave portion Pa4 disposed between the convex portions Pa3 may have a predetermined curvature.

The convex portions Pb3 has a convex curved surface and may be provided as a recess having a concave curved surface as it corresponds to the center of the light emitting device 105. The flat surface (or low point) of the concave portion Pb4 may be disposed in a region between the light emitting devices 105.

As shown in FIG. 22 , a convex portion Pc3 and a concave portion Pc4 are alternately arranged on the front side surface S1 of the lighting module 202 c, and the convex portion Pc3 has a maximum width smaller than the length of the light emitting device 105 in the first direction. Accordingly, two or more convex portions Pc3 overlapping the light emitting device 105 may be arranged. The concave portion Pc4 is disposed between the convex portions Pc3, and the concave portion Pc4 may be a curved surface having a negative curvature or a structure having an inflection point or an interface. The convex portion Pc3 may be spaced apart from the light emitting device 105 by 13 mm or more. In this case, since the size of the convex portion Pc3 is arranged with a micro lens, a uniform distribution of light may be provided, but a decrease in the luminous intensity may occur.

FIGS. 23 to 25 , convex portions Pd3, Pe3, and Pf3 and concave portions Pd4, Pe4, and Pf4 are alternately disposed on the front side surface S1 of the lighting module 202 d, and the convex portions Pd3, Pe3, and Pf3 may protrude in a triangular shape, for example, a right-angled triangular shape, at the lower point of the recesses Pd4, Pe4, and Pf4. The low point of the concave portions Pd4, Pe4, and Pf4 may correspond to an edge portion outside of the exit surface of the light emitting device 105. The convex portions Pd3, Pe3, and Pf3 may provide an inclined surface between adjacent light emitting devices 105, and a portion corresponding to the low point of the concave portions Pd4, Pe4, and Pf4 may be provided in a perpendicular surface to the low point. FIG. 23 shows a flat surface with the inclined surface of the convex portion Pd3, the high point portion of the convex portion Pd3 shows an angled surface, and FIG. 24 shows a high point portion of the convex portion Ped3 having a curved surface, and FIG. 25 may show to arrange as a micro lens on the inclined surface of the convex portion Pf3. In FIGS. 23 to 25 , since light is transmitted along the inclined directions of the convex portions Pd3, Pe3, and Pf3, the distribution of the equiluminance curve around the light emitting device 105 may be formed long along the inclined direction.

FIGS. 26 to 28 are other examples of lighting modules.

Referring to FIG. 26 , the lighting module 202 g has convex portions Pg3 and concave portions Pg4 alternately arranged on the front side surface S1, and the convex portions Pg3 overlap the light emitting devices 105 and has a curved surface, and the concave portion Pg4 has a low point located between the light emitting devices 105.
